having car serviced with procede v4 installed?

danielt · 03-09-2010, 04:05 PM

my car is out of warranty now (my car is now older than the included 3 years warranty), and I have ABS warning light problems. Can I take it in for service with the procede still installed, or will it stuff their diagnostic process?

thanks

Out of warranty? Leave it on, it wont mess anything up for them diagnosing the car in relation to the braking system.

Just remember to put it in valet mode.

what's the worst they can do? Void your warranty?

+1 since no warranty just leave it but Valet Mode is a MUST!

it's like giving candy to a baby if you don't.

+1. You'll need to put the procede into valet mode or else the dealership's diagnositic tools may not be able to communicate with the dme.

I would just pull it out so the dealer can't blame their possible incompetence on the PROcede....They may say..."can't fix the problem with the piggyback" charge you some diagnostic fee and say they won't work on your car until you pull it out....

Spend the 20 minutes to take it out...Just my opinion.

continentalg5 · 03-09-2010, 05:44 PM

Leave it in

Does V4 Flash the SES light when set to Valet Mode?
With the latest maps/firmware, it flashes the SES light upon startup to indicate it is on Map 1. Did Vishnu eliminate this if Valet mode is on?
